Looking at EURGBP ahead of ECB Rate Decision TomorrowAhead of the ECB rate decision tomorrow, the futures markets see almost zero chance we get anything other than a hold at 4.50%. This falls in line with other economies including the Bank of Canada which held rates earlier today. From a technical perspective the Daily chart is back above the wedge breakout level. I took a Long this morning from 0.87140 after a nice rejection candle close yesterday, but price moved sideways and failed to push higher. This continues the pairs lack of conviction above 0.8700 which starts to make it more and more difficult to see price making a clean break higher. So 0.8700 is the line in the sand tomorrow, if we see buyers really step up and drive price higher I'll be looking for more Longs, but if we fall back inside 0.8700 I'll flip my bias short, specially if we fall back inside after the rates have been announced. Best of luck out there and I'll see you tomorrow.

EURUSD Is Still Bearish Whiel It Trades Below 1.07EURUSD had some nice bounce in the last 24 hours, back to 1.07 which is now acting as a very strong resistance. We also highlighted this one in our website here on TV. I would not be surprised if the pair comes down actually, bakc to 2023 lows since it's very hard to trust Monday flows, plus, we will rarely see directional moves ahead of key events the ECB this Thursday. There are more and more speculations that ECB is done with rates, and that they will not raise this year anymore, which can certainly keep EURUSD pair in a downtrend. Technically we see 1.07 as an important resistance, at the same area of 50d SMA, while hourly time frame shows three waves up from the lows. Grega

EURJPY: Finally ready to reverse?EURJPY has been hanging around 157 - 157.5 range for some time, we saw a break below last week which quickly recovered, but we've broken back below now so I expect a stronger push back down to the low of last week (caused by JPY buying). With price action there was also a failure to make a new high, we saw a short pinbar on the 4HR before we broke back below my resistance block. I see this happening again as the BoJ look to defend their currency, I'm expecting JPY to start to perform well across the board - they may not provide any interest but their inflation is low and their economic performance is looking ok to me to, and also money flows and so a reversal should be coming soon. I also think the EURO is in trouble, with stagflation, this will lead to recession imo and will hit the EURO so this is one of the JPY crosses I'm expecting big declining moves from.

EUR/USD higher as eurozone inflation slidesThe euro has moved upwards on Friday. In the European session, EUR/USD is trading at 1.0597, up 0.30%. After falling sharply earlier this week, the euro has rebounded and gained close to 1% since Wednesday. The eurozone's inflation level dropped to 4.3% y/y in September, a sharp decline from the August reading of 5.2% y/y and below market expectations of 4.5% y/y. Lower energy costs helped push inflation lower. The September release is the lowest inflation level since October 2021. The core inflation rate, which excludes food and energy, fell from 5.3% y/y to 4.5%, beating expectations and declining to its lowest level in 11 months. The sharp drop in eurozone inflation comes on the heels of a similar decline in Germany, the bloc's largest economy. The decline in core inflation is particularly important and supports the view that the ECB will not have to continue raising rates. Inflation still remains much higher than the ECB's target of 2%, but the downtrend is encouraging and the ECB would prefer to avoid further hikes which could tip the weak eurozone economy into a recession. In the US, the Core PCE Price Index, which is considered the Fed’s preferred inflation indicator, dipped to 0.1% m/m in August, after back-to-back gains of 0.2% m/m. The annual rate eased to 3.9% y/y as expected, down from 4.2% in August. This was the lowest level since September 2021 and supports another pause from the Fed at the next meeting on November 1st, with the markets pricing in just a 17% chance of a quarter-point hike, according to the FedWatch tool. EUR/USD is testing resistance at 1.0594. Above, there is resistance at 1.0666 There is support at 1.0544 and 1.0472

EURNZD: Continued weakness expectedFundamentals out of the Eurozone last week were not good, in particular the data coming out of France. NZD is looking strong against all crosses at the moment. From a technical perspective this cross has broken out of its channel to the downside, and now broken the ascending trendline on the weekly and looks to have retested it. All things suggest to me that this is going to fall further, I'll be looking to get in on a LTF with a first TP of 1.773 and a second at 1.755, depending on how price reacts to my support box.

EUR/USD extends losses, eyes German inflationThe euro has extended its losses on Wednesday and has declined close to 1% this week. In the European session, EUR/USD is trading at 1.0552, down 0.18%. Germany has traditionally been the powerhouse of Europe but finds itself lagging in the rear, with a struggling economy and high inflation. The GfK Consumer Climate index fell to -26.5 for October, down from a revised -25.6 in September and shy of the market consensus of -26.0. This was the lowest reading since April and suggests that consumer sentiment will remain weak in the near future. The GfK report warned that private consumption will not contribute towards Germany's recovery, which is grim news for the eurozone. One of most eagerly waited eurozone releases is the German inflation report, which will be released on Thursday. The consensus estimate for German CPI stands at 4.6% y/y, compared to 6.4% y/y in August. If the estimate is on track, it would mark a significant win for the ECB, which has been raising rates aggressively in order to curb high inflation. The ECB raised rates last week, but the lead-up to the meeting was dramatic as it was a 50-50 call whether the ECB would hike or hold. A sharp drop in German inflation could send the euro lower as it would support the ECB taking a pause at the October meeting. The week wraps up with German retail sales on Friday. After back-to-back declines, retail sales for August are expected to rebound to 0.5% m/m. The US releases third-estimate GDP on Thursday, with a market consensus of 2.0%. This follows the second-estimate of 2.1% and the preliminary estimate of 2.4%. The US economy has recorded respectable growth figures despite the Federal Reserve's sharp tightening, as the labour market has remained strong and consumers continue to spend. EUR/USD is testing resistance at 1.0594. Next, there is resistance at 1.0666 There is support at 1.0544 and 1.0472

EURAUD: Big Crash, incoming?Fundamentally I got Aussie strength on the horizon, whilst the EU is all over the place. I'm seeing a big fall coming, with the EU basically stagflating and AUD being buoyed by Chinese recovery, gold price increases etc. Even though we've seen positive data for the Euro this week, the effect on the FX has been negligible. Can't see the Euro doing much more than it has recently against the Australian Dollar. Could be a great trade for me this one...

Double CPI Day for the EUR & CADCertain weeks stand out in importance, and the week ahead is shaping up to be one of them. On the economic calendar we have the Eurozone & Canada CPI as standouts for Tuesday, UK CPI & FOMC on Wednesday. Such action-packed weeks often provide the catalyst for the next move in the markets. Our attention is currently drawn to the EURCAD for multiple reasons. Firstly, from a technical perspective, we see the EURCAD completing a head and shoulder pattern on a daily timeframe, which is generally associated with a trend reversal. This is further supported by the 200-day simple moving average, which has consistently marked out the trend for the currency pair. With prices recently crossing below the moving average, this could mark a change in the overall trend, potentially heading lower. Further, when looking at the long-term chart, the 1.440 level has been a critical point of support & resistance across its history, with prices often either breaking through with momentum or stopping and bouncing off this level. Looking at each leg of the EURCAD against the USD also reveals an intriguing setup, with the USDCAD trading near the resistance of a descending channel and the EURUSD breaking sharply below its trend support. Both indicate a potentially lower EURCAD. Another interesting comparison we can make is the currency pair with its related markets. Both the Euro and Canadian dollar are deeply tied to the USD; thus, the broad dollar proxy should have some relationship with the pair. By overlaying the inverse dollar index (DXY) and the EURCAD, we see both are closely related with the Inverse DXY pointing towards a slightly lower EURCAD. The same observation applies when we overlay the EURCAD and the Inverse Crude Oil prices, given the correlation of the Canadian dollar with crude prices due to its oil-exporting nature. With CPI numbers out for both economies next week, it is also worth looking at the economic data from both countries. From an unemployment rate perspective, the Eurozone is faring worse than Canada, a trend echoed when we look at YOY GDP. Both indicators suggest a frail Eurozone economy, likely making the central bank more cautious as it tries not to overdo policy tightening and risk sending the Eurozone into a deep recession. On top of that, the recent guidance from both central banks reveals slightly different undertones. The Bank of Canada anticipates higher year-over-year inflation readings, while the ECB forecasts declines in headline inflation and harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP) readings. This further supports the idea that the ECB might be more dovish, while the Bank of Canada could lean towards a hawkish stance. All things considered, the case for a lower EURCAD seems compelling based on the technical charts at key levels, comparisons with other markets, and central bank stances. We could express this view via the CME-listed Euro/Canadian Dollar with a short position at the current level of 1.440, take profit at 1.380 and stop loss at 1.457, offering a risk-reward ratio of 3.5. Alternatively, the currency pair can be synthetically constructed using the more liquid Euro FX Futures and Canadian Dollar Futures. To establish a short position on the EURCAD, one can sell 2 EURO FX Futures and buy 1 Canadian Dollar Future. This approach approximates the hedge for the position, considering that each EURO FX Futures contract represents 125,000 Euros, and each Canadian Dollar Futures contract corresponds to 100,000 Canadian Dollars. At the current exchange rate of roughly 1.44, 1 Euro FX Futures contract is equivalent to approximately 180,000 Canadian Dollars, resulting in a 2:1 ratio. Each 0.0001 per Euro increment for the Euro/Canadian Dollar Futures is 12.50 Canadian dollars, while each 0.000050 per Euro increment for the Euro FX Futures is $6.25 and each 0.00005 per CAD increment for the Canadian Dollar Futures is $5.00.

TIME TO BUY THE EURO? Is the Euro under-priced? The ECB raised rates this week. The Euro fell. The market has priced in this week's rate hike as the last. It thinks the ECB is done. Judging by current Euro Area inflation, there are more rate hikes to come. What does this mean? A stronger Euro, which is not currently priced in. Keep an eye on Euro Area inflation figures. If inflation continues to be sticky or unexpectedly rises, EUR pairs may rally. Possible explosive upside. In my opinion, the ECB is not done with their rate hiking cycle yet. There is more to come.

Euro takes a tumble after ECB's hikeThe euro has steadied on Friday. In the European session, EUR/USD is trading at 1.0665, up 0.20%. The European Central Bank's rate decision went right down to the wire on Wednesday. It was unclear whether the central bank would hike or hold, with strong reasons to support each position. In the end, the ECB opted to hike, choosing the fight against inflation over the threat of recession. The ECB raised its key interest rate to a record high of 4.0%, but the euro responded with sharp losses. The reason? The ECB rate statement signalled that the rate-tightening cycle is likely over, which sent the euro and eurozone bond yields lower and European stocks higher. EUR/USD fell 0.80% on Wednesday and dropped as low as 1.0631, its lowest level since March. ECB policy makers have been grappling with a dilemma, which made the rate decision so difficult to call. Inflation is running at a 5.3% clip, more than double the target rate of 2%, but high borrowing costs and the slowdown in China have weighed heavily on eurozone growth. In the eurozone, the services sector has been weakening and manufacturing continues to contract. Germany, the traditional locomotive of the eurozone, is likely in recession and is struggling with an inflation rate of 6.1%. Against this background of high inflation and sluggish growth, the ECB opted for a 'dovish hike', with the rate statement noting that rates have likely reached the peak level. Lagarde didn't shed any light on the ECB's rate path, but the futures markets brought forward expectations of a rate cut to June 2024, compared to September 2024 before the rate decision. Lagarde stated at a follow-up press conference that it's too early to say that rates have not peaked, but the markets beg to differ and are already looking ahead to rate cuts, which indicates some dissonance between the stances of the central bank and the markets. In the US, the week wraps up with two tier-1 events. The Empire State Manufacturing Index, which plunged to -19 in August, is expected to improve to -10 points. UoM Consumer Sentiment is expected to dip to 69.1, down from 69.5 and inflation expectations are projected to remain unchanged at 3.5%. EUR/USD is testing resistance at 1.0654. Next, there is resistance at 1.0732 There is support at 1.0609 and 1.0531

EURAUD SELLOFF FOLLOWING 09/14/2023 ECB INTEREST RATESI am not a fundamental trader but I do love when a major economic news event plays an impact on the market environment. This entire month the markets have been very slow and choppy so I stood out of swing trades due to the whipsaw behavior. This week has been the slowest following last weeks low movement with fed speeches on the economic calendar almost every day. I had USDCAD shorts that actually just reached my profit target but I closed out earlier this week due to the bad conditions and missed the rest of the trade, I hope you all that followed the analysis benefitted from it more than I did. On the technical side, I do not trade ranges unless big enough of a range so my only option for this pair was to wait for a confirmation of a breakout and trend continuation before getting active. I now have a confirmed breakout that I am waiting on my entry to be triggered. I gave my sell stops a little bit of room before being triggered to avoid potential whipsaws. My entry is at daily lows below 1.6450 and I will be looking to take a +3R sell to July lows around 1.6330 but price could go lower as there are buyers stops stuck around those lows. If my analysis is incorrect and my stop gets hit or my trade entry isn't triggered at all then this could signal further indecision in this pair or a possible bottom forming for a reversal back into the former broken range. Conditions have been poor lately so I am shooting my shot and if this does not go as planned then I will be sitting out the rest of the month and looking for another opportunity in another pair/market.
